New Scrabble Champ!

My parents just visited for the past week and it was really great. My Mom and I had a pretty intense Scrabble tournament and I am happy to say (although I feel a bit guilty about it) that I won the tournament 4 games to 2! The last game I just got really lucky and got all the big point letters and she got nothing but one pointers pretty much the whole game...

Hey Mom - already looking forward to the next challenge!

The North Pulls Ahead

Meg and I went out tonight in Fayetteville as Mom and Dad took care of Henry. It was really nice and there weren't many people on Dixon Street, as they all seemed to have just left to go see Arkansas play a basketball game. First we walked around the square and then up to the campus. We stopped in Fayetteville's version of Shank Hall, but luckily there was no live music. We had some Boulevard Wheat beer and it was quite good. Then we went to a Thai restaurant and had some wonderful vegetarian sushi. Then, we went across the street to a really cool jazz type bar/restaurant called Club 36. I tried a gin and tonic, but I didn't like it, so I swapped drinks with Meg's Gimlet. While there we had some really good gumbo. If you are ever in Fayetteville, I highly recommend that club - the service was excellent, the ambiance very nice and the food was great.

When we came home, I challenged Mom to a game of Scrabble. It was really close, but I was able to pull it out at the end. Final score Marc 288 - Mom 258.

Now the series stands:
Marc 3-2
Mom 2-3
Meg 0-1
